Snacks for Everyone

George Beyer, a retired teacher from Flathead High School in Kalispell, Montana

To show my appreciation to the school staff that made my job as a teacher easier, I would bring in snacks for the custodians and secretaries once or twice a year. Snacks also play an important role with students. Unfortunately, not every family can afford to participate in pizza, taco and donut days. I would deposit money with our attendance secretary and let students know that if they needed money to participate they could withdraw the money anonymously under the condition that they help someone else who needs it sometime during their lives. Lastly, I always brought healthy snacks for those that weren't allowed to eat sweets.
